You must install supports (clips, etc.) for the Q Cable and raw Q Cable at six-foot intervals or less. Installation
requirements for wet-rated cable allow Q Cable and raw Q Cable to be installed in conduits, cable trays, and
other raceways.
Q Cable is a UL3003 DG (Distributed Generation) listed cabling system. The DG cable standard UL3003
is based upon the construction specifications (wet rated) of TC-ER cable, which may be installed in raceway
as per NEC 336.10(3). The Q Cable and raw Q Cable are manufactured with DG cable to the specifications
in the Q Cable Specifications Table on page 4.

Terminations at the Q Aggregator
The Q Aggregator accommodates up to
three microinverter AC branch circuits.
Connect any open male Q Cable connector
to the female connector on the Q
Aggregator. The Q Aggregator provides
built-in 20A over-current protection fuses for
each microinverter AC branch circuit and
the ability to run one combined set of output
conductors off the roof, further reducing
BOS costs and making wire pulls easier.
Optionally, you can attach a male Field
Wireable Q Connector to the end of a Q
Cable or a raw Q Cable and plug it into the
Q Aggregator.
